Multiple Contexts appropriate at work

When I am sitting at my desk at work, I have multiple contexts available to me @work, @computer, and @phone. Should I just be scanning multiple (appropriate) contexts to look for my next action when "doing"?

Thanks.
 
You can or you can pick a context and work in that one for a while. I find if I scan multiple contexts I flounder around and don't as much accomplished but if I pick an appropriate context and stay in it until a natural break point I get a lot more done.

Try both ways and see what works best for you.
 
Thanks.

Thanks. I too am worried that I will flounder around if not focused on one context when multiple are appropriate. I'll trust my gut and work the one that "has my attention" and see how that works.

Thanks for the feedback.
